November Cafe

Okay, so this should be the ‘October Cafe’, but Halloween got in the way. So, welcome to the ‘November’ Bent Street Cafe. We have two Non-fiction pieces that explore ‘institutions’: Queering the Classroom – in which Rebecca Ryall looks at heteronormativity and cisnormativity in the Catholic school context; and The KINQ Manifesto – Craig Middleton & Nikki Sullivan on how Knowledge Industries Need Queering (KINQ).

In Portraits and Profiles, Guy James Whitworth presents Peter de Waal.

And Guy is also interviewed by Bent Street about his current projects.

November is when we start assembling the print version of Bent Street for 2018 – Bent Street 2. We’re aiming for a pre-Christmas release. If there are any bits of writing or images that you’ve encountered this year, that we should look to include in 2, drop us a line at cloudsofmagellanpress@gmail.com. We’d also like to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bent Street work the best for the LGBTIQA+ community.

Bent Street is an annual publication of Australian LGBTIQA+ art, writing and ideas. Contributions appear ongoing in the Bent Street Cafe – an online blog/journal from which the print yearbook is assembled.
